One of the most beloved sci-fi TV shows of all time, Paramount had previously made episodes of the original "Star Trek" available in shorter volumes, but this release marks the first time the series has been released in a full season set, coming complete with collectable packaging. Despite the fact that the "Trek" films have suffered a slight slide in the past few years, the spin-off shows that the original series has spawned are still going strong and consistently gaining new fans in syndication. This first season box set is a nice place for hardcore followers of the series to recall some of the show's earliest moments and for casual fans to see where it all began.
